The
News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports Aminu visited the “School
Without Wall’’ located at the IDP in New Kuchingoro in Abuja and
donated Notebooks, Texbooks and other relief materials to the pupils.

According
to her, the initiative was a flagship of her pet project ‘Peace
Education Campaign’, geared towards promoting education for the less
privileged and building peaceful and united Nigeria.

“Education is the strongest tool for empowerment you can give to anyone, because ignorance is an enemy of peace and progress.

“Our
dear nation has witnessed unprecedented religious crisis which over the
years divided us and set us back economically, and some of this crisis
strive among the uninformed ,especially the young people.

“We
must promote unity in diversity and advocate common values, fight the
same cause and seek permanent solutions to our common problems for us to
win together,”she said.

The
“Peace Ambassador” said there was need to educate young Nigerians,
especially the vulnerable and less privileged, in order to ensure a
serene and evenly developed society for all.

She
therefore called on good spirited individuals, cooperate bodies and all
civil society groups to join hand with her in promoting the Peace
Education Initiative.

In
his remark, the Head Teacher of the school, Mr Sake Audu, who received
the items on behalf of the pupils, commended the young beauty queen for
the kind gesture.

He therefore urged Nigerians to emulate the kind gesture, saying “government alone cannot take care of the displaced persons.

“Well-meaning
Nigerians should remember the IDPs especially this children that need
to be educated, and extend their hands of care to them because they
deserve good life as well.’’

Some
of the pupils expressed gratitude to the visiting queen and her team
and urged government to do everything possible to get them back to their
homes.

NAN
reports that the “Miss Ambassador for Peace Peagent” is organized by
the Peace Ambassador Agency, a non-governmental organisation, advocating
peaceful and united Nigeria.

Earlier,
Mr Kingsley Amafibe, Project Director of the Peace Ambassador Agency,
who led the team to the camp, called on Nigerians to identify with the
Foundation.

He said that achieving and sustaining peace and development needed collective efforts of all citizens.

“This Miss Ambassador for Peace initiative has been a vehicle through which we carry the message of peace across Nigeria.

“We,
as an agency, have sought peace and we have preached peace through this
unique platform that we have taken to different states and communities.

“The
peace education campaign, which is targeted mainly at the youth, has
reached institutions of higher learning and other youth communities
through the Peace Ambassador project,’’ he said.
